Hair Replacement
Understanding Hair Replacement
Before & After Photos

Because of significant surgical advances with improved results, interest in hair replacement surgery has increased significantly during the past decade. Hair loss affects two out of every three men and one in five women. Some people begin to lose hair in their 20s. Frequent shampooing, poor circulation, wearing hats or any other personal habits are not factors that cause hair loss. For men, heredity is the major factor in hair loss. For women, hormonal changes, including those that occur in menopause, are mainly responsible for female “pattern changes,” which include thinning and loss. Accidents, burns and disease can also trigger hair loss. The key factor in hair replacement is the presence of donor hair on the side or the back scalp, which is then used to replace hair where loss has occurred. Total baldness makes replacement surgery impossible.

If you’ve wondered how hair replacement surgery could improve your appearance and possibly even your self confidence, you need to know how this surgery is performed and what you, as an individual, can expect from this procedure.
